Primary immunodeficiencies involve an immune system that does not work correctly. People with primary immunodeficiencies are more likely to get and become severely ill from infections. Examples of primary immunodeficiencies include: severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), ataxia-telangiectasia, selective IgA deficiency.
